                      October 3, 2017

                      The dreaded dengue haemorrhagic fever has claimed two more lives in Karachi, as two elderly persons died near the end of last week at a private hospital, Sindh Health Department officials said on Monday.

                      ?A 77-year-old man died due to dengue fever at the Aga Khan University Hospital on Saturday, while a 64-year-old woman died due to complicated dengue fever at the same hospital on Friday,? Sindh Dengue Prevention & Control Programme chief Dr Abdul Rasheed told The News.

                      With the two latest deaths, the number of casualties because of the mosquito-borne viral disease has reached eight, said the health official, adding that the hospital reported both the deaths to the authorities on Monday due to holidays in connection with Ashura.

                      Health experts say Karachi is in the grip of mosquito-borne diseases, including malaria, dengue fever and chikungunya, as dozens of people have died due to vector-borne diseases in the city following the recent monsoon rains, but since majority of the public and private hospitals do not share their data with the authorities, the deaths often go unreported...
